OHP Identifies Injured In Muskogee County Pursuit, Crash

Troopers say the driver of this Ford Expedition led deputies on a high speed chase before crashing.

The male driver had minor injuries, but two women in the vehicle were badly hurt.

Oklahoma Highway Patrol has released the names of some of the people involved in a Muskogee County pursuit that ended in a crash Saturday afternoon. A 23-year-old woman is in critical condition and a juvenile female also remains hospitalized.

The male driver had only minor injuries, according to a collision report.

Muskogee County deputies tried to stop a Ford Expedition a little before 4 p.m., but Muskogee resident David Morris took off instead, according to authorities. Speeds reached up to 75 mph on dirt roads before Morris crashed into a tree on 93rd Street just west of 94th Street, a collision report states.

The three people inside the Ford were trapped and had to be freed by Wainwright and Oktaha firefighters. Peyton Turner, a 23-year-old Muskogee woman, was taken to a Tulsa hospital by Life Flight. Troopers says she is in critical condition with head and other injuries.

A 17-year-old Muskogee woman, who was not named due to her age, was also taken by medical helicopter to a Tulsa hospital where she is said to be stable with head and other injuries.
